Gary Grant added: “The team at the end seemed to have a bit more about them. Should start that way on Saturday, minus Perez for Hayden. Good point given the circumstances.”

Andy Armstrong agreed, adding: “Mitrovic offered more in that last 20-25 minutes than Joselu has in his last several performances. The team that finished tonight has to be the starting XI on Saturday.”

Harry De Cosemo said: “Crucial point for #nufc. Stops the rot, reduces the panic. It would have been an ominous way to head into the Chelsea game.”
